It mounts on the inside and is 1/8" thick.

Please put me on the list of buyers. How long would you estimate before buyers see hardware?
Thanks!

Just to be clear, the information I gave above is for the one that I made for my car. Dave is developing another version.

I’m working on the prototype now. It would great if I could find someone in the San Francisco Bay Area to fit to a car before going into production. So if anyone knows anybody with a early car in the area let them know to reach out to me.

Not sure it’s the same firewall. However I’ll check it out and see if it works for the 1500.

Alvin's car is a '65 1600, not sure about the firewall differences:

Dave,
I'm happy to take one of the first batch of 18 to assist in the evaluation.
Please let me know if that works for you.
